Alternate Universe

Did you ever wonder what an alternate universe would look like? I have. One in particular. For people who do not know me so well, I'm on the heavy side. I have been since the age of 12 or 13. I like to eat. If I keep up with rigorous exercise I can keep the weight off, but getting hurt a lot means that the rigorous exercise doesn't stay up for very long.

In my alternate universe, heavy people are the norm. People that with low BMI's and that are skinny are the ones on the front cover of People magazine with headlines like "Look how skinny he/she is!" Not that, that doesn't happen, but people how are not boleamic, or sick from cancer, or whatever else you can think of. The people that are normally small and petite. The ones people doen't make fun of, or think they are very healthy because they are not overweight. These people are the abnormal if you want to think of it that way. These people (in my universe) wear clothes that are too big for them, they add padding to their clothes to make themselves appear bigger. They dont' wear dark colors to make themselves look smaller, they wear bright bold colors so they look heavier. I often wonder what it would be like for those people who sit on the bus and and think to themselves, "Oh sheash, I gotta sit by the fat guy" would do if the roles were reversed. How would they feel if people made faces at them, or if they avoided eye contact.

So many what if's in our lives isn't there? What if people in general were actualy nice to each other and accepted each other for who/what they are. How would our world be different?

I know that I have a hard time with changing my attitudes with people. I try daily to improve it, but it is difficult when you have people laughing at you, even though you are sitting across from them, or having people whisper back and forth about how stinky the fat guy/gal is today.
